Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To define the frequency and spectrum of c-kit gene mutations in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). METHODS: Fifty two cases of GIST and 28 cases of other tumors were examined for mutations in exon 11, 9 and 13 of c-kit gene using PCR amplification and DNA sequencing. RESULTS: Fourteen out of 25 malignant GIST (56%), while 2 of 27 benign and borderline GIST (7.4%) revealed mutations in exon 11 of...
